What makes them so dangerous?
LOL, the Taliban in Afghanistan are dangerous, why didn't they take them out?
What about Saddam Hussain in Iraq?
They're a load of nutters developing nuclear weapons?
I wouldn't be averse to flattening a few Iranian reactors and enrichment plants. It would send out a very powerful message to other Rogue states that we won't stand for more oppressive regimes developing nuclear weapons.
Iran may not use them if they do develop these weapons, but it's certainly a less stable situation that emerges from more countries possessing them.
It's unlikely the Americans will act anyhow. They never intervened in North Korea, not even with trigger happy W.Bush at the helm.

Under funded? We spend £33.7bn/year on our military (http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/AboutDefence/Organisation/KeyFactsAboutDefence/DefenceSpending.htm), the 3rd largest defence budget in the world!
A medieval belief structure with access to modern weaponry, and grudges powered by a supreme being.
So what? Plenty of nutters have them already. What is it about the possession of nuclear weapons that also suggests the willingness to use them?
Do you think there is a significant, and somewhat understandable, defensive motive for developing nukes considering the US is meddling in 3 countries bordering Iran?
Saudi Arabia hates Iran (mainly due to conflict between Shia and Sunni Islam), and they have been allies to the USA during all of their recent wars within the Middle East.
Iran is also the only Islamic Country that Israel are worried about and have been threatened by, they dont really have too many enemies amongst other Islamic countries.
It's simply not enough to support our current and future commitments.
Syria, Lebanon? Now you can add Egypt and the rest of the Maghreb.
